I found the Aug. 21 article "Head Start program in R.I. takes a hit" absolutely astounding.

I found the Aug. 21 article "Head Start program in R.I. takes a hit" absolutely astounding.

The federal government is using our tax dollars to teach 3-year-olds how to sit, be patient and wait their turn? What the heck are the parents doing?

Elizabeth Burke Bryant's comment that " we don't need to turn back the clock" gets it exactly wrong. We do need to turn back the clock, preferably to the 1940s when my two sisters and I were growing up. The only "hit" taken then was an open hand to the rear end for inappropriate behavior.
